A little Meta housekeeping.
Our 2 sites, The Stars Hollow Gazette and DocuDharma, have been experiencing service interruptions, some of them extended and inconvenient. Last month Soapblox updated our software and shifted our hosting to Amazon cloud servers. A few temporary glitches are only to be expected.
TheMomCat and I are aware of these problems, as are the technical support people at Soapblox. Edger is acting as a contact person for us and several other sites he supports which we think has the benefit of not flooding inboxes with too many duplicate messages.
On a personal note I experienced a hard crash on my main computer and have been unable to access my customary environment for the last few weeks. I hope my level of obnoxiousness has not suffered materially.
I have arrived at what I think is a reasonable hardware solution and over the next few days I’ll be trying to get that functional. I may decide to bore you with the details at some point because I think the process has been instructive and may benefit readers who are considering similar situations.
As always, thank you for your indulgence.

Yesterday when I lost contact with Stars Hollow and Docudharma, I also lost contact with My Left Wing and I think Firefly Dreaming as well.
I had a tinfoil hat moment thinking that perhaps evil interlopers such as Sauron, Voldemort, the CIA, FBI, KGB, MI5, UNCLE, THRUSH, CONTROL, KAOS, or maybe even the cybercrime arm of the Tea Party might be launching some nefarious sabotage.
What with Mayor Bloomberg and others threatening to crack down on OWS, I figured my phone was tapped and men in black were about to surround my house demanding that I exit with my hands over my head.
Whew!
